Global Times: Gas stations, truck drivers bear brunt of diesel shortage, price hikes
Gas stations in many parts of China are running out of diesel after supply constraints posed by the booming demand for coal transportation and factories using diesel to generate electricity.
Several gas stations in North China's Hebei Province told the Global Times on Friday that pumps had been empty from days to even a week.
Those who have just acquired supplies face a limited amount of diesel delivery to each customer, in addition to charging them a higher price.
"Each customer can only buy a fixed amount, because there isn't enough at the moment," an employee from a gas station in Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei, told the Global Times on Friday.

My gut tells me something happens before 2024 election
Freaking Amazing! For the last 5 years have debated with a well credentialed moron you averred up and down China was reducing the number of coal plants or at the very least not building new ones.
The moron ahs no recollection on why the number of Chinese coal plants are important and if they do remember, there will be no acknowledgement they were wrong.
Arguing with the well credentialed idiot is like arguing with Al Gore. Al Gore makes predictions and misses them all. He is wrong on predictions by decades and getting worse.
For sure something happens
The "Democrats" and globalists cannot allow another election where a nationalist wins
And you know what's happening right now?
Global lockdowns because of a virus that's as deadly as the flu while there's no more flu... magic
